I applied to Sumner College (my brother's gf is currently enrolled in their RN program and has nothing but good things to say about it). After doing more research on it though I realized they are a for profit school and the credits do not transfer to any of the major colleges/universities. I really don't have any qualms about people who choose to go about this route, but for me personally, I had always told myself I would never go to one of these types of schools.
So my issues... I still need to take the pre-reqs, which will probably take me well over a year. Then there's always the possibility I will not be accepted into the program (currently I am looking at Chemeketa, but would probably apply to other colleges as well). I guess I am just fearful that I will do all this schooling and have it result into nothing. Or do the schooling and get the same level of job as someone who goes to Sumner. I'm just wondering what hospitals look for when hiring. Do they really look deeply at where you received your education or are they just looking for the licensure?
Is there anyone on here that currently attends Sumner that can give their input on the program? Like I said, I have no qualms about people who choose that route, as I am still possibly thinking of going that route. I just want honest input and feedback.
Hello RachMP05, I know this a very late response to your May '14 post but I was wondering if you ever ended up attending Sumner? I was considering going there and am trying to collect as much info as possible before making any sort of decision.
Sumner is a great school. Very high NCLEX pass rates. Over 90%. I have several friends who attended and I am starting in the fall. They have clinical partners like Peacehealth and Kaiser. People who attended had only great things to say about the program. As far as transferring, there is a list on their site that shows schools you can transfer on to get your BSN. They are accredited and approved by the OSBN. Good luck in your search!
I know his post is super old, but I was wondering if you ended up attending sumner? I'm thinking about applying there next year for heir RN program. I was curious about Clinicals and how they work there if there is a schedule for them. And where you can do them and if you have a choice. Thanks! :)
Hi Brandie8918 I have a panel interview with sumner for their ADN program tomorrow was hoping you could give me some insight on the types of questions they will be asking. thanks
